The Los Angeles Lakers tried to move up and grab the No. 2 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft by offering forward Lamar Odom to Minnesota, but the Timberwolves turned down the offer, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The Timberwolves instead asked the Lakers for power forward Pau Gasol or center Andrew Bynum in return for the pick. The report states that talks have broken down and the teams are no longer discussing a deal.

According to the report, the Lakers wanted to acquire the pick to draft Arizona forward Derrick Williams.

Sports Illustrated reported on Wednesday night that the Philadelphia 76ers were a possible destination for the No. 2 selection, with swingman Andre Iguodala as the bait. A rival general manager called the 76ers' chances of acquiring the pick "definitely real."

Iguodala's name has also been mentioned in a possible 76ers-Lakers swap that would include Odom and possibly small forward Ron Artest being shipped to Philadelphia. Igoudala is owed $44 million over the next three seasons. Odom will make $8.9 million in the final guaranteed year of his contract and Artest is set to make $21.7 million over the next three seasons, but he has an early-termination option for 2013-14.

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves continue to send mixed signals about their intentions for the No. 2 selection. ESPN’s Chad Ford reported Wednesday that center Enes Kanter was a strong candidate along with Williams.

ESPN’s Andy Katz reported the Houston Rockets, who have two picks in the first round at Nos. 14 and 23, have presented 10 different options to Minnesota to move up to No. 2.
